gmcase (113), Indiana, USA Jul 22, 2007 Updated: Jul 25, 2007Indy Brewfest. Different than most american wheats because it has more hops. Slight, crisp, freshness is added to the style. I really enjoyed it. UnsofistaCat (222), Garden City, Michigan, USA Jul 20, 2007 Gumball flavor if your normal gum of choice is made up of Amarillo resin. Very hoppy for the style. Bitter- but more of a pine then citrus. Didn’t have the cloudiness I was expecting. I thought this thing would be loaded with phenols. Very average looking with small head that dissipates quickly. Nose of brown sugar and pine. Bells does wheat much better then FFF. Still a good tasty beer though. This more of an IPA made with wheat. masonjer (558), Holt, Michigan, USA Jul 19, 2007 Poured a hazy dark yellow. Smelled of wheat and citrus. Taste was a nice fully wheat flavor with a citrusy finish. Way more complex than most wheat beers, this one had an interesting twist. No need for an orange slice, the citrus is already there. Very good wheat beer, but still fairly basic. Best lower abv wheat beer I have had. Gregis (1132), Shawnee, Kansas, USA Jul 17, 2007 Bottle that mreusch brought back form Chicago. I can see why this is the #1 rated American Wheat. It is hands-down the best I have ever tasted and by a large margin. Pours a hazy gold with a frothy, white head. The nose is of grassy hops, wheat and a faint citrus. Light-bodied and thin with moderate carbonation, it finishes lightly bitter--rare for an American Wheat. The flavor is a sweet wheat with solid grassy and citrus hops. This is, by far, the hoppiest wheat that I’ve ever sampled, but it is still quite well balanced. The Amarillos really dominate the character of this easy drinker, and it makes me wonder why more brewers haven’t tried to do something similar with a wheat. If they sold this in KC, it would be a summer staple in my fridge. Thanks a ton for sharing this one Matt! JMFG (1514), Florida, USA Jul 17, 2007 Bomber. Pours a slightly dark straw color with a billowy white head. Mild sweet lemony aroma with a helping of hop aroma behind it. Medium-bodied, not too light. Zesty citrus start with hops and sweetness in the middle and a dry finish. Refreshing, and the hop character really adds complexity to brew without making it unrecognizable as a wheat beer. mreusch (715), Olathe, Kansas, USA Jul 14, 2007 Bomber, pours a clear pale golden with a moderate white head, no lacing. Light aroma of hops and citrus. Taste has a very slight hops bite, zesty and a touch of lemony citrus in the finish. Light and lively on the palate, a very refreshing summer wheat, and no lemon wedge needed! mnicole (15), asheville, North Carolina, USA Jul 13, 2007 great well balanced version of an american wheat. has a nice hoppy aroma. you can definitely taste the hops in this beer. delicious lemony citrus finish. you can hardly recognize the wheat. Jmichael (633), Asheville, North Carolina, USA Jul 9, 2007 poured into a tulip. pours a clear golden yellow with large, full frothy head. sweet, wheaty, yeasty, hoppiness on aroma. Hops present and wheat on the taste with no bitterness. a citrus presence on the finish. a good refreshing drink. i wish i had more.
